Deep Sea Fishing Cabo San Lucas – Late March 2026 | Top Anglers

March 16–31, 2026 | Top Anglers Sport Fishing Charters

Conditions Overview

Spring has officially arrived in Los Cabos, and the Pacific waters are responding beautifully. Late March marks a pivotal transition point in the fishing season, with water temperatures climbing to a steady 77–80°F. The warmer currents flowing into our region are now fully established, extending our fishing window and creating ideal conditions for premium catches. Longer daylight hours and calmer seas make for comfortable departures from our dock, while abundant bait schools continue to concentrate game fish close to our prime fishing grounds. Peak season is ramping up rapidly, and the conditions we're seeing signal the beginning of an exceptional fishing period ahead.

Species Report

Yellowfin Tuna

The yellowfin tuna are making an impressive spring showing, and their arrival marks one of the clearest indicators that peak season is underway. Schooling fish have been sighted throughout the offshore grounds, with strong strikes and sustained runs rewarding our anglers with some of the most exciting sport on the water. A Cabo San Lucas fishing report without mention of consistent yellowfin would be incomplete — these powerful athletes deliver exactly the kind of challenge that draws serious anglers to Cabo San Lucas each year.

Dorado

Dorado remain our most reliable performers. These golden speedsters are still hitting live bait aggressively and rewarding quick reflexes with explosive takes. Whether you're targeting trophy-sized specimens or building a day's count, dorado continue to deliver consistent action that's made them a cornerstone of Cabo sportfishing. The Cabo San Lucas dorado fishing right now is at its finest.

Striped Marlin

Striped marlin are holding well on the offshore grounds. While we practice catch-and-release protocols to maintain this magnificent resource, the opportunity to tangle with a blue-water leviathan is what drives many of our most dedicated clients back year after year. A deep sea fishing charter in Cabo San Lucas wouldn't be complete without the possibility of a marlin encounter. March has delivered some outstanding opportunities, and April is shaping up to exceed expectations.

Trip Highlights: Memories Near El Arco

This reporting period showcased the magic that happens when skill, weather, and fish align perfectly. Several of our group charters from mid to late March returned with multiple species — yellowfin, dorado, and marlin — landed in single days. The iconic silhouette of El Arco framing these catches created memories that clients will treasure far beyond their return home.

The photos from these trips — spanning March 16 through March 26 — tell the story of why Top Anglers earned its reputation for curated, high-touch fishing adventures. Families gathered together, couples celebrating milestones, and dedicated anglers achieving personal bests. The yellowfin catches in particular signal the spring run that savvy fishermen have been anticipating. Every landing represents not just a fish, but a moment worth preserving.
